Rachel Maddow explains how an ostensible top secret NSA document submitted through the show's inbox is likely a fake, and points out the perils of such forgeries to news organizations trying to report out important stories like the Trump Russia story.

4. Yes! And I have a feeling there is going to be more to it...

...the rethuglicans are NOT that creative, and tend to go with what works... so far they've "Rathered" CNN and have their sites set on The Divine Ms. M. Fuck them, and the lobbyists they rode in on.

9. Think Dan Rather

Think Bush was AWOL

Think forged documents with IMO accurate data proving he was AWOL were used to kill Dan Rather's career.

There is a reason to heed the warning.

Caution when "evidence" is touted as the smoking gun.

Trump telegraphs the likely-hood that fake documents might already be in the pipeline.

Trump's message. "Fake News" he just waiting for the moment to say see I told you so fake documents = fake news.

10. Trump has been involved with the political dirty tricksters since way back. Corrupt lobbyists too.

If the glove fits .....

11. "but we're working on it!"

I bet that they are indeed working on it. That may be a very tough nut to crack, though. Good luck, Rachel!
